Recolor the Past

What it does

Scan printed photos or upload existing files, organize them into family folders, and compare restoration previews before exporting. Recolor the Past can colorize black-and-white images, restore faded color, repair scratches, reduce blur and improve faces. Free previews let you test settings first. Photos are processed in the EU, never used for AI training and automatically deleted after a defined retention period. Available on the web, iOS and Android.

Colorize old photos, repair scratches and sharpen faces online. Free preview, first full-resolution photo free. Private EU processing; no AI training.

Drop in an old black-and-white photo and see it in natural, lifelike color. The preview is free, and a free account adds your first full-resolution download. Or choose files from your device — folders and .zip files work too. Try it free. Previews need no account: smaller, with a watermark. A free account gives you 3 previews and your first full-resolution photo on us. Watch a faded black-and-white photo come alive with warm, natural, lifelike color. Try it free, with no sign-up for your first preview — and your first full-resolution photo is on us. Mend scratches, sharpen faded faces, soften blur and bring gentle, natural color back to the photos you love most. Free preview, no sign-up to…from recolorthepast.com

  AI Photo Restore + Style Tool2025 · ai-old-image-restore.site · ▲8

  Hey HN, I’m a solo developer and over the past few months I’ve built a simple web tool to restore old, faded, or damaged photos using AI. It: - Removes scratches, dust, and tears - Clarifies blurry details (faces, textures) - Optionally colorizes or applies vintage/artistic styles I originally built this for my own family albums — scanning old prints, restoring them in-browser with no Photoshop or plugins. I wanted anyone to be able to revive their memories with a click. There’s a free tier after signup, no hidden fees. I’d love feedback on: - Restoration quality (sharpness, artifacts)…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
